Get a take this L mug for your Facebook friend Abdul.
Originally taken from the iconic Chicago Cubs 'Win' and 'Loss' flags for almost 80 years, since 1937. Since the Cubs had such a great (2016) season from the start, and most people bet on them winning, cubs fans were making a "meme" out of the L flags to mean "take a loss". However, no other team in the league uses these flags, they just use their phones...

Sox fan
Trump supporter: Clinton supporters, take the L. XD
